The Residential Conservation Service (RCS) program requirements and options are discussed as they apply to participation by home heating suppliers. Included in the discussion are: criteria for approval for participation, application for participation, required activities, criteria for waivers, program announcement and promotion, energy audits, voluntary withdrawal and release from participation, penalties and appeal, reporting and recordkeeping, and accounting and program expenses. Ways are suggested in which home heating supplier trade associations can support participating home heating suppliers in implementing a state RCS program. Numerous suggestions are given for assisting participating home heating suppliers with the implementation of program requirements. Included in the discussion are: working with an electric or gas utility, scope of program benefits, program announcements, energy audits, auditor qualification and training, arrangement options, customer billing and repayment of loans.
